Businesses certainly do care. Perhaps you don't remember the uproar about the loss of parking uptown on King St due to LRT construction. Many of of the mindset that people will ONLY come if we go out of the way to make parking easy. but their thinking is stuck in the 1960s. Ideally we do want businesses to become mode agnostic. In practice eliminating parking makes all modes shorter. Many people forget that each mode of transportation does end with walking. Fewer cars parked the less distance one has to walk.
